Then, go to the File tab on the Storyline ribbon and click Save As. Browse to the location where you want to save your template. Storyline will save a copy in the location you choose and another copy in your \Documents\My Articulate Projects\Storyline Templates folder, which is where the Storyline library is stored.

Use the Insert into scene drop-down at the bottom of the window to choose where the new slides will appear in your project. If you choose a new scene, give the new scene a name in the corresponding field. Click Import. When you add a custom template to your Storyline project: The slide(s) you chose will be automatically added to the scene you specified. The theme of the template will be added to the themes gallery on the Design tab of the Storyline ribbon. All the layouts for the template will be added to your slide masters, and you may customize them as you’d like. All the layouts for the template will appear in the basic-layouts gallery, making it easier to add new slides from the same template later. Depending on how the template was created, you may be able to use theme colors and theme fonts to quickly customize the template for your current project. Sharing Custom Templates To share a custom template with other e-learning developers, just send them your *.storytemplate file.

Either way, you’ll see the new template in your library the next time you launch Storyline.

Go to this folder on your computer: %userprofile%\Documents\My Articulate Projects\Storyline Templates Simply rename or delete the *.storytemplate files found in the folder above.50Views0likes0CommentsPresenter 360: Building a Course with Content Library 360 Slide Templates
